Problem: descending order 1/2,2/3,1/4 [ Calculator, Method and examples ]
Solution:
Your problem `->` descending order 1/2,2/3,1/4
Descending order is `{0.67,0.5,0.25}`
`2^(nd)` Solution :
`1/2,2/3,1/4`
Step-1 : Find the LCM of denominators
Here, LCM of 2, 3, 4 = 12
Step-2 : Convert each fractions into like fractions, So multiply numerator and denominator by the ratio of LCM and denominator of the fraction
For `1/2`, ratio of LCM and denominator is `12/2=6`. So multiply numerator and denominator by 6.
`1/2=1/2 xx 6/6=6/12`
For `2/3`, ratio of LCM and denominator is `12/3=4`. So multiply numerator and denominator by 4.
`2/3=2/3 xx 4/4=8/12`
For `1/4`, ratio of LCM and denominator is `12/4=3`. So multiply numerator and denominator by 3.
`1/4=1/4 xx 3/3=3/12`
Step-3 : Arrange fractions: If denominators are the same, then we can arrange the numerators.
Here 8 > 6 > 3
`:. 8/12 > 6/12 > 3/12 `
So, we conclude `2/3> 1/2> 1/4`
